Kilopound Per Linear Inch (abbreviation: kips/in): is a force in kilopounds applied over a unit length in linear inch.
Kilopound Per Linear Foot (abbreviation: kips/ft): is a force in kilopounds applied over a unit length in linear foot.
How to Convert Kilopounds Per Linear Inches to Kilopounds Per Linear Feet
Example: How many kilopounds per linear feet are equivalent to 51.3 kilopounds per linear inches?
As;
1 kilopounds per linear inches = 12 kilopounds per linear feet
51.3 kilopounds per linear inches = Y kilopounds per linear feet
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 51.3 times 12 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 51.3 * 12 / 1 = 615.6 kilopounds per linear feet
Answer is: 615.6 kilopounds per linear feet are equivalent to 51.3 kilopounds per linear inches.
